The last Wednesday the FBI charged a total of 133 individuals in Puerto Rico for providing protection during drug deals. Eighty-nine of the individuals happened to be part of the law enforcement.The scope of Operation Guard Shack was also described as unprecedented because 750 FBI personnel were flown to the island to carry out the raids and make arrests, Puerto Rico is a major shipping point for drugs between the East Coast and so it wasn't hard for these criminals to be found.Arrested were 60 members of the Puerto Rico Police Department, 16 members of various local police departments, 12 correctional officers, eight former law officers, three National Guard soldiers, two U.S. Army officers, one administrative examiner in child support matters, one Social Security Administration employee and 30 other civilians.
